Redux - ACT TODAY! Jenny Needs You Now, More Than Ever. Cross Post Widely, Please

[Guest guest]

CALL TO ACTION TO JENNY SUPPORTERS!WE MUST ESCALATE OUR ADVOCACY OF RETIRING JENNY TO THE ELEPHANT SANCTUARY Concerned Citizens for Jenny has consistently advocated for retiring Jenny to The Elephant Sanctuary (TES)

as it is clearly the right home for Jenny. TES is uniquely suited to

care for Jenny, as its sole focus is the rehabilitation of elephants

like her. This natural-habitat refuge provides 300 acres for its

three resident African elephants and is world recognized for its

expertise and experience healing troubled and ailing elephants.By contrast, the Zoo announced today that canceled its plan to

ship Jenny to a "drive-thru" tourist attraction in Mexico. Now, it says it will keep her at the Dallas Zoo,

where we know that she is miserable in her cramped, barren enclosure.

She has been in solitary confinement for three months and just last

week, Jenny was seen to be obsessively swaying, a sign of distress and

stress in elephants. View that video after you have read the rest of

this email, please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AusZYAAzhW4The Zoo's announcement today seems to be just one more ill-conceived ploy to deflect the public outcry and wide-spread criticism of the

Dallas Zoo's mishandling of what to do with Jenny. Today's decision by the Zoo was dismissive of the concerns of Dallas

citizens. The

Zoo has vacillated about what to do about Jenny a number of times and

appears to have NO concrete plan or clear vision for addressing Jenny's

needs. Redouble

your calls & emails to the Dallas Mayor and City Council, please.

We must show that we are resolute in our commitment to retire Jenny to

TES. Jenny needs you now, more than ever! 1. Contact the Dallas MayorRepeatedly

call, fax, and email the mayor, whether or not you live in

Dallas. Politely but firmly urge him to retire Jenny to The Elephant

Sanctuary. Civilly insist that he intervene in the Zoo's decision to keep her in Dallas.
